KNPE 459 Clinical Exercise Physiology Units: 3.00
An in-depth coverage of principles of health screening, exercise testing and exercise prescription for individuals with cardiovascular, metabolic and pulmonary diseases. An emphasis is placed on understanding disease pathophysiology and how this interacts with the acute response to exercise and the adaptation to training.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Identify and describe the nature and significance of particular clinical issues when examining examples of physiological data.
- Explain the pathophysiology of selected clinical conditions and the impact of the condition on the acute exercise response.
